Center Develops New Approach for Residential Nitrogen and 1,4-Dioxane Removal

The New York State Center for Clean Water Technology at Stony Brook University has made a series of discoveries regarding a new approach to protecting Long Island's drinking water, groundwater and surface waters. Some of the discoveries involve the likely human carcinogen 1,4-dioxane, which has been found at higher levels in Long Island drinking water than anywhere else in the U.S.The CCWT is advancing its novel technology for removing this chemical and other contaminants such as nitrogen before it enters groundwater. In addition, scientists affiliated with the center have recently published research affirming household products as a likely source of 1,4-dioxane in wastewater.According
